Fava Beans 101 – Inside the “Russian Nesting Doll” of the Bean Family
Add a Comment
by Chef John, Cooking Examiner
It’s a shame when people don’t get to experience some great culinary pleasure simply because they don’t know how to work with the product. Fava beans, also called Broad Beans, or Horse Beans, are a good example of that. These beans are a favorite of Chefs worldwide because of their beautiful color and unique flavor. Unfortunately, for the average grocery store shopper, they're just those big, ugly, green pods that get passed over for the more familiar green string beans. I hope after watching this demo that you will run out and buy a big pile of these wonderful beans and begin to enjoy them, as they deserve to be. If you don’t find them at the grocery store, check the local farmer’s market.
This dish is from my blog, Food Wishes Video Recipes. Enjoy!
